"Thanks," Kitchie murmured, with
out dariug to look at Kob, who seemed
to be on the verge of a convulsion.
"My dear fellow." Wynne said, that
morning, on the way down to the sta
tion, "as the Kiris say, it's just too
funny for anything. Only keep me
posted how your flirtation gets on.
Think or Malcolm Kitchie and this
little rustic." And lie laughed a low,
musical laugh of derbion.
Kitchie did not go up to the front
room for several evenings. When at
last he did, his knock interrupted one
of Chopin's nocturnes. Miss Jinnle
was seated at the piano. She were a
brown calico dress with red Cowers in
it a dress even more hideous '.uau the
purple spotted one.
"Ah, come in," she Isold, looking
around, but not rising. Yoa are
always welcome, here, as Auntie says;
but when you come, you mustn't expect
me to talk; for I can never talk when I
play. As she said this, she whirled
around on the piano stool, and let her
hands drop sortly on the key, in a kind
of caress.
It was Mendelssohn first, and then
Mozart, and Lt?zt,and Beethoven. As
Kitchie glanced from the sweet, rapt
face to the supple white fingers, gifted
with such an exquisite touch, be began
to think that he had stumbled over a
social phenomenon.
"But, with all this," he wrote to
liob Wynne, "she is wholly devoid of
taste in (ersonal adornment. Her
dresses are appalling; her shoes are an
anachronism. You ask me about the
fishing. There's plenty of trout still,
but I haven't been out much yet, ex
cept with Miss Gray. Now don't make
more of this fact than you've a right
to, which Isn't much. She has a fis
sion for spring flowers, and grasses,
and that sort of thing, and I help her
to collect them. Farmer Goodrich has
a rickety old buggy which he lets us
have now and then. Th uncle and
aunt will do anything for Minnie.' "
"You seem to have quite forgotieu
the original purposes of your stay
there," Wynne wrote In reply. "Three
weeks have passed since I left you. and
you are still driving Miss Gray about
the country, instead of catching trout,
aud sending me a lot. as you promised.
I'm afraid your old weakness has over
come you, and that you are tlirtlng
airam. Don't break the poor girl's
heart."
"You speak too late," was the reply.
"Angling is now quite out of thn ques
tion. I have assumed the 3acrcd duties
of companion to an !ntresting invalid,
To lie explicit, iijb, the buggy had the
kindness to go to pieces, on the road,
and it was my privilege to rescue Miss
Gray from tlie wieck. She hurt her
foot quite a small foot, too. Dob, In

very Interesting. T..e doctor tays she

don't know; I suppose It comes by na

I have said to her some of the softest
things 1 ever uttered; but, upon my
soul, I'd no more think of takiuz her
I hand than I'd think of flying.
The days and weeks sllpied by, and
Malcolm was still installed at Farmer
Goodrich's. In the end. Wynne began
to le seriously concerned for him, aud
wrote to inquire "what he was doing
with himself."
It was one bright and unseasonably
warm afternoon, that Malcolm came
in In a gleeful mood.f
"I've raked up a buggy. Miss Gray.
he said, "a bu;gy that won't break
down, and-if vou like, we can take a

"Aud I. too." she answered softly.
"But the fishinj U pretty well over

"It wasn't the fishing that kept me
here," so long, he ventured quite boldly;
and Jinnie blushed like arose.
I can understand that," she has
tened to sav: "I never knew a more
delightful nlace to Idle in."
"The buggy is here. Miss Gray," he
said, walking to the window, and then
back again. "Allow me to take you
down."
When he bad her beside him. alone
on the river road, he turned to her and

"As to that," she answered coolly.

he finished this speech iu German.

rushed over h!m of all be and Wynne

penitential tones.

As lie stood there staring at it, Jin

he wore a traveling dress, which

Somehow, all at once, Kitchie com-

slight flush on her cheeks; and then,
after a moment's hesitation, site added:

Malcolm followed her into the sitting-

He leaned against the mantle with a
sense of complete demoralization.

went on, rapidly, "she was my nurs-,

Then her serenity vanished ail in an

thought).

THE STL'KGKOX.
Ucw a Great FIhIi t Cauztit Off tlin
New Jersey Coast.
A corresitondent furnishes the fol-
.owlug: There is at least 8100,000 in
vested in the sturgeon fishing interest
In the is'ew Jersey end of the line, with
headquarters at Bay Side, Cumberland
county. The sturgeon grows rapldlv,
aud a Dsn of six years old weighs 300
pounas. a big sturgeon yields from
four to six Yankee buckets of roe like
unto shad roe, with larger eggs, which
are first rubbed through a coarse sieve.
then salted and rubbed throuzh a finer
seive till the fibre is disengaged from
the egg. and the remainder, after
raining, is emptied into ketrs and be
comes what Shakespeare calls caviare
to the general." It is then shipped via
New York to Europe, where the sup
ply Is not equal to the demand. The
modus operandi with a sturgeon is to
cut off his tail and let him bleed, the
large artery running through the taiL
The roe is then taken cat of the live
Ash. A broadaxe is then used to de
capitate the fish, then the skin Is taken
off, the backbone or cartilage is then
taken out with a sharp knife and leaves
two sturgeon sides boneless. The fish
is thoroughly wiped out with a coarse
whalebone broom, then the flesh is put
nlo an ice-box and is shinned to ew
York, where It readily sella as good
Albany beef." If the market is
glutted the sturgeon meat Is kept till
rail in the ice house at a temperature
of 4 degrees below zro, and is then
round good eating. The head, tall aud
backbone furnish the fitnous sturgeon
Ml.
The sturgeon has no weapons of de
fense against the shark and flies from
this lawyer of the sea. 1 found two
lureou in the haul made by moon
lit with the entire nose bitten off by
a shark, a net entirely dry weighs 600
iounds, the cotton laid twine alone
we ghing 3J0 pounds, costing 20 cents
pound. The meshes of the net are
from thirteen to fifteen inches wide.
and a sixteen-foot board twelve iuches
wide can be shot through the net, so
no shad or small fish are ever caught in
a sturgeon net. A sixty-pound rock is
sometimes found in the sturgeon gill
net. The net is 1.323 feet long, seven
feet under water, with no lead or other
sinker, the weight of the twine balding
the net down. The float, or cork, re
mains on top of the water fast to the
lauyard, which Is fast to the float. At
each drift say two hours before low
water, from one to ten sturgeon is the
usual catch, and the cork indicates
when a big fish gets his gills entangled
in the meshes or the net. The fish
yields easily to fate and shows no
game.
The water at Tampa is transparent.
and a spear is use I to kill the fish, but
the fisherman w desperately vexed with
what he calls "foul fish." the sawfish
and devilfish. The latter, welzhiuir
1000 pounds, frequently tear a net to
r-M. an tflI slit:t or , wlili a rive 3
the fishermen to shore. Frequently a
-pouud green turtle Is bagged with
no market for turtle.
The sturgeon feeds down on the bot
tom on the Crustacea, and can bj seen
rooting like a hog on the bottom. The
savants or scientists have never dis
covered where the sturgeon spawns.
and It may be in the Black sea or in
Delaware bay. where the huge she
sturgeon has been 6een to shed her
pawn on the surface of the bay or
river in the months of April and May.
At Bay Side, as soon as the fish finds

'But what freak sends you out into
a dreary suburban neighborhood you
of all persons in the world?"
Launcelet Grover stood staring at
Mr. Albert Ford ham as it half in
clined to suspect him of some lurking
taint of insanity.
Fordham smiled. He was a blonde.
with yellowish hazel eyes, silky brown
hair and a set ot teeth that rendered
smiling a most becoming operation.
Country air, my dear boy," said he.
with a shrug of his shoulders; 'country
air and seclusion and the neighbor
hood!"
"How do you mean the neighbor
hood V questioned Grover, more and
more mystified.
"I tell you," answered Fordham, "I
have rooms in a desirable villa, where
a respectable widow lady keeps a few
very select boarders; fried liver for
breakfast, boiled beet for dinner and
stale lobster for supper "
"Not a very tempting bill of fare
'.hat."
'Declaedly not, but 1 have a neigh
bor."
A neighbor!" echoed Grover.
I know Jones, the real estate agent,"
said Fordham, nodding his head oracu
larly; "Jones is always ready to do me
a friendly turn when he can and he
told me, in a strictly confidential way,
that Miss Deforest, the heiress, had en
gaged Kose Cottage for the summer
season. Kose Cottage where, by-the-
way, there are no roses Is dlrect'y op
posite where I board. My room win
dow looks into the terraced lawn, and
commands a view of the latticed case
ment, where, behind a bower of exot.es
and canary birds, the heiress dwells. -?
But what good is all that going to
do you?" demanded Mr. Grover. You
cau't make love to her on your fingers,
like a deaf and dumb swain?"
Fordham displayed the glittering
teeth again.
"My dear fellow," said be, "there
are more ways than one of lighting the
name or the tender passion on love's
altar I Miss Deforest has been tor
mented to death with mediocre love,
making, ever suioe she entered society.
I shall manage affairs after an entirely
original fashion. Only wait and see!"
And Mr. Launcelot Grover "waited"
accordingly.
Albert Fordham bad laid out his
programme of heiress-winning with
great skill, and he prosecuted it con
scientiously. Day 'after day a care
fully culled bouquet, expressive
ot the language of flowers, was carried
across the dusty road, duly directed "To
the nymph who dwells among the rose
buds." Day after day the messenger
brought back the answer:
"The missus' compliments, aud she's
much obliged."
'I am getting along." thought our
hero, rubbing his plump white bands
together. "If she resented the deli
cate attention in any degree whatsoever
; she'd send back the flowers."

"Well, Jackey," he said to his Mer

little son, "what did she say?"
"She says, Wery kind o' the gentle

"So far, segood," sail Mr. Ford
ham, complacently. "To-morrow I'll

lug suppressed tenderness, and hinting
at a consumptive love ou bis part fed
by the flutter of her blue ribbons at the
opposite casement. It was addressed:
"To the beautiful Incognita." and
signed, "Your Devoted Slave!"
'What did she say this time,
Jackey?-' be asked, when Jackey
Fluffkins came sauntering back, with

"She began to read it to another

'Iam getting ahead. Now. let's see if
I can get trusted at Moon & Kockitt's
for a solitaire diamond, the glittering
bait wherewith I will draw my treasure
trove to shore."
But here stern and Implacable Fate
Interposed. There was already a little
bill unsettled against Mr. Fordham s
name in the books of Messrs. Moon &
Kockitt, and the gentlemanly proprie
tors shok their heads dubiously against
any further display of confidence.
"But I tell you." pleaded Albert, "I
am going to marry au heire s and this
Is to be our engagement ring.'
"Happy to heir it, 1 am sure," said
Mr. Moon, politely; "but it is entirely
against our rules to allow a bill to run
any higher, without at least a small
payment on account."
And Mr. Fordham was compelled to
go to a less fashionable establishment,
and to content himself with a large
and handsome pearl, set iu a slender
hoop of gold.
"This will bring matters to a crls'.s,"
said he to himself, as he enclosed it In
a note a note which embodied a fan
cifully worded declaration of love.
I know nothing of you," he wrote,
"save that you are fair. I care to
know nothing except that I love you.
Dearest, if you will be mii.e, I shall see
a blue ribbon tied from the casement
blind one hour from now."
Breathlessly, and with throbbing
heait, he watched the casement, until
a Utile white hand bung something
blue upon the slats and disappeared
like a fluttering snow-flake.
"I've won her," said he to himself.
Catching his hat he gave one last
look into the glass, ti Fee that the by
acinthine curl dropped properly over
his forehead, and his mustache was
suitably waxed. And then lie hastened,
on the wings of true love, across the
dusty read, into the lilacs aud labur
nums that sheltered the got hie entrance
lorcli of Kose cottage.
A pretty .little son ant maid, with a
muslin cap and aruAl d, white apron,
admitted him.
"Missus is in the drawing-room,
please, sir," said she. all smiles and
conscious blushes.
"Confound these women! do they tell
everything to their servant girls? said
Mr. Fordham to himself, as he entered
the apartment pointed out to him.
lie had seen Miss Deforest once at
the opera, sitting iu an opposite box,
and be knew her to be young and beau
tiful but the lady vrho stood simper
ing iu the middle of the parlor was
neither one nor the other. He staited
back, involuntarily exclaimiug:
'Where Is Miss Deforest?"
"She does not come here until Au
gust!" politely responded his hostess.
''I am Miss l'atty l'uzslcy, at your
service."
The glitter of the psail ring on her
Gnger flashed at him like a mocking eye
as she advanced. He retreated.
"There is some mistake!" he gasped.
"I I supposed it was Miss Deforest
who lived here."
"You said you didn't know nor
carel" squeaked Miss l'atty l'ugsley,
pulling the pink note-sheet out of her
pocket. "You wrote it all down in
black and white that you loved me, so
you did I And I'll have the law on
you, so I will!"
Mr. Fordham got safe out of the
house by dint of speed and skill, but
Miss Fugsley sued him for ''breach of
promise" the next week and the suit is
sti.l pending. The jewe'er has not
yet received his fifty dollars for the
pearl ring, neither Is Mrs. Flufi kins'
board bill settled.
And Miss Deforest still roams the

Artificial I'rcclous Stones.
The trade in artificial precious stones
has become quite important, aud the
manufacture ot them has reached a
considerable degree of perfection. The
products of some of the shops would
almost deceive an expert, but the test
of hardness is still infallible. The
beautiful "French paste," from which
imitation diamonds are made, is a
kind ot glass with a ruixlure of oxide
of lead. The more of the latter the
brighter the stone, but also the softer.
aud this is a serious defect. The Im
itation stones are now so ierfectly
made, and are so satisfactory to those
who are not very particular, that their
influence logins to be felt in the mar
ket for real stones. By careful selec
tion of tlie ingredients and skill and
attention in manipulation, the luster.
color, fire, and water of the choicest
stones are, to the eyes of laymen, fully
reproduced. There are a few deuca
cies. of color that cannot be perfectly
given, fur they depend on some nudis-
coverable peculiarities ot molecular ar
rangement and not on chemical com
position; but tho persons who are to
bay the stones know nothing of that.
Yet S'dot. a French chemist, has
nearly reproduced these peculiaitles,
including the dichorism of the sap
phire, with a composition of which the
base is phosphate of lime. Two other
French chemists, Fremy and Feil.
have produced rubies aud sapphires
having tlie same composition, with the
genuine stones, and yearly eual hard
ness. Engraving! may bs transferred on
white paper as follow: l'lace the en
graving a few seconds over the. yajxjr
of iodine. Dip a slip et white roper in
a weak solution of utarcn, a.qd when
dry in, a weak solution of oil of vitriol.
When, again dry, lay a alip upon the
engraving and place both for a few
minutes under a press. The engraving
will be produced in all its delicacy and
finish. Lithographs and printed matter
cannot be so transferred with equal

a British widow and mother who has
been here from childhood, writes Anna
Ballard from British India. She also
tells me that a bath cau be given with
out danger ot adding to a bad cold by
first freely oiling the sore chest, and
that it may even remove the soreness.
They generally use cocoanut oil as be
ing the oil of the country. OH for the
forehead or a hot bead, is a better
cooler than water. The water dries
immediately and leaves the skin burn
ing. But in a case of either a sun-
heated or thought-heated head, if a
soft oil is poured on with the lavish
ness of cologne or plain water, the
scalp actually drinks it up is the ex
perience of this country.
The Northern nose often turns up
ward at the use of cocoanut oil that is
not fresh. The nose of the common
people Is less affected In that way. In
truth, there are scents worse than stale
cocoanut oil. From the universal oint
ment-using habits of the Oriental toilet
comes the frequent reference to anoint
ing in the Bible, as of Aaron, the
high priest; as also Mary Magdalene's
alabaster box, Possiblv the supple
hand-joints of all the Oriental people
have received their faculty of bending
backward from their universal use of
oils. Oil plays a conspicuous part iu
the Hindoo worship. Also the Chris
tian Catholic Church assembly annu
ally blesses its "holy oils. "
Shod With Gold.
In the year 1S53 a storekeeper named
Donald Cameron, carrying on business
at Woolshed, was elected Urst member
of parliament for the Ovens district,
and he had the honor unique In the
history of the colony of being driven
in triumph from the Woolshed into
Beechworth in a gig, with tandem
team, the leading horse of which was
shod with gold. An old resident of the
district has favored me with the fol
lowing partioulars of the occurrence:
"Just before the election an eccentric
individual known as "Tinker Brown,'
who had made a lot of money on the
digging, suddenly purchased a circus,
with tents, horses, wagons, etc., com
plete and coming Into Beechworth wi h
his company, he offered to drive the
newly elected member and supply gol
den horseshoes for the occasion. The
Woolshed bosses,' who were greatly
elated at the result of the election.
warmly took up Brown's idea, and they
resolved, in addition, to present their
member with a diamond scarf pin. The
horseshoes were made by a working
jnweller named Tofield, and weighed
nine ounces each. The team was
driven from Woolshed to Beechworth,
and back as rar as La Serena hill. On
removing the shoes of the leader (a
piebald circus horse) they were fouud
to have lost a total of one and three-
quarter ounces. Before 'Tinker
Brown' died he willed them to a mar
ried daughter keeping a public house at
nagga Waggs. They were in exist
ance until about four years ago. when
the owner had them welted aud turned
into sovereigns."
On tlie Ttlo ill Sum no, Itrazil.
The soft tones of the dawn of a fine
morning fell alike upon field and flood
and tinged all creation with its rosy
hues. The rich-colored banks glowed
with the warm light that made the
dripping leaves ot forest, the ferns and
flowers of the shore all Hash and sparkle
like jewels. On the river, here and
there, patches of rising vapor puflly oh
cured its sheets cf uleauiicg "old.

mist in the faintest ot clouds. The
fish splashed in the smoking waters;

white herons smmmeq tuo waters win

numerous 6mall birds twittered and
chirruped, and in the woods the roars
of guariba or howling monkeys echoed
and re-echoed from cliff to cliff of the
banks. It was a picture that even iu
the absence of personal comfort oue
could gaze upon with delight, and all
nature seemed to welcome the ro3y
dawn and pure, fresh air after the bois
terous, darksome sight.
FOItCED ADVICE.
The Kind of a Clerk Nobody Cares to
Encounter.
The assurance of the average young
woman clerk is simply refreshing.
Nothing daunts her. And the manner
In which she airs her opinions and pref

Madam Pompadour, lofty, awo in
spiring, and frigid as an icicle, sails
haughtily up to the lace counter and
demands that some jetted essurlal lace
ba shown her. The frizzled and banged
young woman behluJ the counter coolly
sticks her pencil back of her ear and
says:
"Escurial lace? yes'm. We have
the newest patterns, but its not worn
as much as it was last year. What did
you wish it for, please?"
"For trimming a black silk," says
madam coldly.
"Oh, why don't you get black passe
menterie then? It is worn almost en
tirely. Now, if I were you I'd get
me "
"Show mo the lace, if you please,
miss." says madam in a tone calculated
to make one's blood run cold. But
Miss Cash, quite undaunted, says:
Oh, certainly, ma'am, but. really.
lace is worn so little this spring, and
passamenterie is so fashionable, and"
condescendingly "I think it would
look well on you. Now it don't look
so well on me at least, not' a great
deal of it. for I'm so "
Will you have the kindness to let
me see the lace I asked for?"
"On, certainly, I was just looking
for a new pattern in passementerie 1
feel sure you'd like better than the
lace oh, here It Is. Now. If I were
you I'd make my dress with "
"Are you going to let me see Ui it
lace?" asks madam, frigidly.
"And you don't like the passemen
terie? We are selling a great deal of
it. Oh, how would you like a narrow
band of the passementerie as a heading
to jour lace? I should think you'd
like it, I would. It would look well on
you. Being so large you know you
could wear more trimming than I
could. Here is a lovely pattern iii
escurial lace. Now with this narrow
passementerie It "
"I do not want passementerie. Miss."
"No? It is very stylish. A friend
of mine has just had a black silk made
with ten yards of wide passementerie
on It. Kially. I hav'n't seen any lace
worn on silks made this spring. Now,
If I were in your place. I'd at le..st
have eight or nine of these jet orna
ments on a panel at the side or liov
were you thinking of having your dress
made?"
This la more than a Pompadour can
endure, and the madam stalks out while
her would-be friend and adviser shifts
her chewing gum to the other side of
her mouth aud says to a par'.ner in
gall:
' Don't believe she wanted anything.
The idea of putting escurial lace on a
black silk when passementerie is all the
rage! She must ba crazy."
A Study of Foreheads.
The forehead has a language of Us
own, said a well-known surgeon lo a
reporter. By studying It the character
of a person can be determined almost
to a certainty. Take a man who has a
very retreating forehead, which is lov
and shallow, you will find him deficient
in intellect. If only slightly retreat
ing, or what appears to be retreating
from thelulnessof the form over the
eyes, you will find him very susceptible,
very imaginative, as well as humorous
aud w itty. Ride ou an elevated train
some day and compare the foreheads of
those you know with such of their
characters as you may be acquainted
with, and you will find that those noted
as being slow and dull will have very
projecting foreheads. On the other
hand, among men noted for their solid
understanding, powers of concentration
and studious habits, you will find it
perpendicular forehead, rather high and
well rounded at the temples. Note a
man whose forehead Is crossed perpen
dicularly between the eyebrows with
wrinkles of the same length, you may
be sure that he is an ill-tempered in m.
Wrinkles, however, ot unequal length
Indicate deep thought. Sensitiveness
and geniality are shown by a low,
arched forehead, full at the temples,
and when combined with a great ful
ness over the eyes denotes an iuipiov
able and Idealistic nature. Person:;
possessing poetic, ardent aud sensitive
natures not infrequently have a hluj
vein forming a letter "y' in an open,
smooth and low forehead. High, nar
row, unwrinkled foreheads, over which
the skin is tightly drawn, show a weak
ness of will power and lack of imagma
tion aud susceptibility, while foreheads
not entirely projecting, but having
knotty protuberances, give vigor ot
mind, and harsh, oppressive activity
and perseverance. 1 have used this
philosophy of the forehead for many
years iu my practice, and attribute
much of my success to its understand
ing. A patient's forehead is always
visible to the physician, and by study
ing it for a moment he can generally
get a good idea of the kind of person
be has to deal with, and can act and
recommend a treatment to conform to
the patient's "individuality."
The Largest Golil Mine.
The famous Mulatos mine, regarded
by many as the largest gold mine in
the world, I s situated at Sonora, Mex.,
and was worked hundreds of years
ago by the natives, but was lost track
of. In 1S04 it was rediscovered and
sold to French parties, who, after
working it for nearly fifty years, resold
it to a rich Mexican, and it has been
in his hands ever since. There are
100 ohambers in the mine, some lo'J
feet high, yet not a stick of timber is
used to support the roof, tlie support
